INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Surface Preparation
All surfaces must be clean, sound, dry and free of oil, grease and surface contaminents. Thoroughly remove all loose particles and dust. Any loose flaking must be removed and light sanding is recommended.

Application
One Way Method: This method is recommended for heavier panels or where load or stress is expected. Apply a 4 to 6mm bead of SikaBond using a cartridge gun, making sure the beads are no more than 45cm apart. Bring both substrates immediately together and clamp, nail or screw for a minimum of 24 hours. For butt joints use adhesive on both panel edges.

Two Way Method: Apply adhesive as in one way method, bring together substrates, and press firmly over entire surface to transfer adhesive. Then pull apart. Allow adhesive to tack off for 3 to 5 minutes depending on weather conditions, reposition the objects and press together firmly. The surfaces should be tapped together with a hammer and a padded block to ensure maximum contact. Maximum bond strength will be achieved in 12 to 72 hours, depending on substrates and weather. Heavy panels may require temporary mechanical fastening until maximum strength is achieved.

Cleaning
Clean all tools and equipment immediately after use with Sika Colma Cleaner. Hardened material can only be removed by mechanical means.
